My son's sixth grade teacher constantly pressures and yells at him to do his work. When I had a conference with her, she practically yelled at me. I addressed my concerns with the principal and asst. principal regarding her treatment of my son- they did nothing.

We moved here from out of state for my husband to take a job in Beaumont. We've been here for 5 months. The bullying is so out of control. So we decided to move 40 mins away so my children can go to school else where's. Moving here was a BIG mistake that my children have had to pay for. The other children pick on other kids non stop. And why? They are all a bunch of hicks!

The change is happening! I am so pleased with new principal. The staff is thriving and hopefully this will make for less bullying and actual learning to occur! Keep up the good work intermediate!

I agree with the previous review, discipline seems to be lacking in some of the classrooms. There are some awesome teachers & students but they are working/studying in a negative atmosphere. Change is needed.

Bullying is at a high. Administration does nothing to stop undesirable behavior. Kids are out of control. To busy teaching Taks.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
